Why many women have a negative body image

Women are taught to have negative body images and our plastic society is responsible for much of this. Appearances are everything and most people do not look beyond the surface. Advertising, television, and photos of thin models in glossy magazines all glamorize thin women. Little girls look for the glamour, the heels, the nail polish, the makeup, the jewelry, and the hair. Advertisers can tell which women are self-confident and are drawn to that image. Does having the hair, the makeup, etc. cause a woman to feel self-confident? You bet it does! http://www.helium.com/items/2176814-self-confidence-body-image-negative-body-image
